Ubuntu :: Unity - Loss Of Menus On Each Window
May 4, 2011I use a large monitor and often have 2-3 apps open. My biggest complaint about Unity is the loss of menus on each window. Switching apps and choosing menus causes lots of extra motion and requires more concentration. This is not exactly a killer but is a nuisance. Is there an option to keep the menus with the windows? I notice that if an app is started with sudo (e.g. $ sudo nautilus) then the menus stay with the window. Is there a way to make all apps behave this way? If not, why not add this?

May 5, 2011I was wondering if anyone knows a way to change the number of icons which appear in the Applications menu and the Files & Folders menu (the menus which pop up when you click those buttons in the launcher)?
At the moment I can see at most 6 favourite folder icons, for example, and any more than that cannot be displayed (it just says "see X more results..."). I'd find it much more convenient if it would simply display two rows of 6 icons each.
Does anyone know if it's possible to configure it to have that behaviour?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: No Right Context Menu For Firefox Menus Under Unity
May 1, 2011When Unity is disabled, you can delete a bookmark from Firefox by right-clicking on the bookmark, under the bookmark menu, on the Firefox menu bar.When Unity is enabled, you cannot delete a bookmark from Firefox by right-clicking on the bookmark, since a right-click behaves the same way a left-click does. In other words, there doesn't appear to be any context menus.I reverted to the so-called "Classic desktop." There are other aspects about Unity I take issue with, but I will not go into them here.
If the Unity desktop is to be the default desktop for Ubuntu, then it must retain, at a minimum, mind you, the same functionality that was provided by the prior desktop. Access to an application's context menus is one functionality I see no good reason to forgo.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Netbook Remix Menus - Unity Launcher On The Left Does Not Appear
Dec 4, 2010I have been running the 10.10 Netbook version for about 3 weeks, as as a dual boot with Windows XP on an MSI Wind netbook primarily with an external monitor (and the netbook monitor off). Because I am using an external monitor, I'd like to get more of a full desktop experience. However, when I read on the forum how to get Gnome desktop workin, or even the desktop-switcher utility, I think there is something wrong with my installation.
I have the unity launcher on the left, which does not appear to have any easy way to add items. I have the bar across the top, which has the logout/logoff/shutdown button, clock and a few icons (bluetooth, network, etc.) on the right. On the far left, I have an icon that brings up the "Microsoft Bob"-like menu (Web, Music, Photos, Games, etc.). I don't have any menu (System, Applications, etc.). When I logout, I have no option to log in using gnome desktop.
Why don't I have many of these options, that other users describe? What is the best way for me to get the full gnome desktop? When I go into synaptic and search for gnome desktop, dozens of items come up, including many that are marked as installed.
Ubuntu :: Menus Deformed And Warped In Unity And Gnome-Shell
May 1, 2011So instead of risking a borked upgrade, while wanting to try something new, I installed Unity (from a guide somewhere) and Gnome-Shell from Ubuntu Tweak.Well they installed and run fine. The problem is this: Many pop-up menus, right-click menus and volume icons and such are warped and deformed. There is a diagonal line running through the box and the text is all slanted and "wrapped around" this diagonal.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: How To Edit Launcher In Unity
May 28, 2011I upgraded to 11.04. A launcher I had created before the upgrade shows up in the dock and works nicely... but I want to change what it does.
[URL]
says to edit the .desktop file. Fine, but there ought to be a way to do it with the gui, shouldn't there?
[URL]
suggests, after reading between the lines, that you can only edit launchers in the gui when they're not in the dock; the dock is only for pinning launchers that exist elsewhere.
But I don't know where my launcher file is, it's certainly not on the desktop, since I removed it from there before upgrading.
I see that in the new world, deleting a launcher from the desktop removes it from the dock, too.
I am very sad that I can't have launchers on the dock without having them on the desktop, and that there's no way to edit launchers from the dock.
I am aware of the "switch back to classic and stop using unity" workaround.
Ubuntu Security :: Installed Prixfixe Through Software Center To Edit The Menus - Restart/shutdown Buttons Didn't Work?
Jan 21, 2011I run apache on a non standard port(82).I just installed unity to play around with it and while I was playing with it I installed prixfixe through software center to edit the menus.While prixfixe was installing my computer was acting very slow which was odd, but not completely unusual.During this time I ran ps aux which showed that my apache server was taking up most of the processing power.I was about to stop my web server,but I waited just in case the web server was updating a few things (I run ampache).
My computer finished installing the software and then I ran some command with sudo (I can't remember what the command was), but it threw back some message saying "setid blabla". I restarted my computer and when I got to my gdm my normal user account did not show up. There were no accounts and the restart/shutdown buttons didn't work.Now I'm running on a livecd and checking out my apache access logs, apache error logs,and kernel logs,but nothing looks out of place..

Ubuntu :: Unity - Mythtv Or How To Hide Unity Launcher
May 8, 2011Just moved to Ubuntu 11.04 with unity and only have one problem...For most of my desktop needs I prefer to have the Unity Launcher up all the time (fullscreen apps don't cover it), and have set this option with ccsm.
However, when I watch mythtv, it is also under the launcher (and the top panel as well). How can I force mythtv to cover the launcher?
What I really need is a keyboard shortcut to hide the launcher, but the only shortcut is for "show launcher". (I guess the devs assumed everyone would want it hidden by default).
This, by the way is not my usual way for viewing mythtv. I have a projector attached to the desktop PC and it doesn't get a Unity Launcher by default (in Twinview), so no probs. However, occasionally I want to watch something on my computer screen, and that is when this issue arises.

Nov 5, 2010Recently I installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick on my HP notebook (Intel core2 CPU T5600@1.83GHZ)
I facing lot of initial hiccups in using Ubuntu as i came from Win XP.
I am not able to see any menus in the home screen. No right click is available on desktop. While searching in forum, I came to know that there will be menu in the desktop. and also run option(Alt+F2 or so). But I don't have any menu except top bar with Ubuntu Logo and status bar and Launcher Bar. Alt+F2 is not working.
I am trying windows kind of desktop/menus/look and feel. I installed Cairo-Dock. which has menu item "application menu". But it seems my system struck due to this.
I have another system with XP OS. Both are in same lan. Inorder to communicate between both I tried xipmsg. I cant find the application under applications launcher. From terminal if i give this command, small gui is opened. where there are no users found . also printing this error at closing. "XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0". after 1844 requests (1844 known processed) with 0 events remaining."
Then I installed ipmsg for windows using WINE. Its giving 3 errors in the startup and my system name only available in the users list . When I press Refresh, that name also vanishes. Then I installed Genome IPmsngr, where I could not find single entry similar to xipmsngr. sometimesstatus icons of LAN/wireless & ipmsngr coming out of status bar and showing below the status bar.
Also getting following errors while hibernate. btusb bulk complete: hci0 urb efdc5280 failed to resubmit(1).
Ubuntu :: Can't Scroll In Menus
Aug 27, 2010When menus in gnome are too long to fit on screen, there appear two arrows in the menu, one at the top and one at the bottom. When I hover over the down arrow, it starts scrolling, but when I then try to click on one of the items, it jumps back to the original position as soon as the cursor leaves the down arrow.
This is very annoying, as I can't reach all entries in for example my preferences menu. Is there a workaround for this?
Ubuntu :: Freeciv 2.2.1 Has No Menus In UNR 10.10
Nov 13, 2010My son and I both have Acer AO532h netbooks, his is still running UNR 10.04 but I've "upgraded" to UNR 10.10 (quotes because it's caused a fair bit of hassle and I'm not sure the launcher is an improvement). We both installed Freeciv this morning. I was able to find in forums how to get it to behave on a 1024x600 screen using (Game > Local > Options > Interface > "Arrange widgets for small displays") but was only able to get this to work on the 10.04 install.
On my 10.10 UNR install, freeciv client has NO MENUS. Mine is freeciv 2.2.1, and once started, the client window only shows "File" menu, and its only item is "Close". His install is 2.1.10 on UNR 10.04 and he's playing away with the above setting changed. I will now try to figure out how to regress to freeciv 2.1.10.
Ubuntu :: No Menus On 10.10 Gnome?
Nov 19, 2010I updated my Ubuntu 10.10 yesterday with Synaptic but didn't reboot until this morning. I can log in normally but that's it. I get a nearly blank screen with my selected wallpaper. There is no menu bar at the top of the screen (Menus for Application, System, etc; clock, cpu load, weather, network applets) and no taskbar at the bottom of the screen. I was able to get Firefox going by opening the one icon I had for an automatically mounted filesystem and going to "Get Help Online" in the Help menu. I can do little else. If I right-click on the screen, I get the menu to make folder, make document (which works), but the change background item doesn't run.
I can't switch to a terminal with Ctl-Alt-F7 and I can't see any way to open a terminal in Gnome without the Application menu.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: No Menus Anywhere On Desktop
Apr 29, 2011I installed 11.04 last night and, when I found that I was having a tough time working with unity I tried to follow some of the online advice and revert to the classic desktop.
Unfortunately when I logged out, the login screen didn't have the expected menu allowing me to choose between unity and classic gnome. Then I made a big mistake. I logged in and opened the system settings menu from the drop down menu in the top right hand side of the screen (at the foot of the menu listing logout, shutdown, hibernate etc.). In there I found an option allowing me to choose my desktop environment at login. Instead of choosing Gnome, like an idiot I chose 'user defined' as my preferred environment, hoping it would allow me to choose between unity and classic at login so that i could get used to unity gently.
Now that I've restarted I'm left without any menu at all anywhere. The only way I've been able to get access to firefox is by creating a launcher on the desktop, I can't open a terminal and I'm such a ubuntu newbie that I can't think of what else to try.
All my usual files are there on the desktop, just nothing giving me access to any programmes or options.
